Sleeping arrangement for vacation

We are going to an all inclusive resort in December with my 23 month old. They provide either a pack and play or pullout bed, not a crib. She currently sleeps in a crib at night, I'm not sure if she should try to squeeze into the PnP or bring rails with us to attach to the bed. I'm so worried shell be miserable all night. Has anyone traveled and what sleeping arrangements did you have?

We road tripped it up the coast in Cali. And we brought our pack and play with us. Worked out perfect and my son is pretty long for his age. He had plenty of room. But he's 15 months, so I know smaller than yours. But he had never slept in it before and did fantastic!! :)

When we went in vacation with my 2 year old we opted for a pullout bed and asked for a bunch of extra pillows. We basically made a big nest with the pillows and put the sheet over the top of them. She slept on top of the sheet with her normal blankie and pillow walls. She did just fine. She started in a toddler be at 14 months though because she could climb out of her crib. Only issue was after vacation she refused to sleep in her toddler bed so she now has a full size bed at 2 and sleeps through the night with no problem. She loves the extra rolling/turning room...lol. There is no way she would have been comfy in a pack-n-play.

In the past, on road trips when he was younger we brought the playpen. However, he transitioned to a toddler bed at 15months because he would climb out. He would also do that with playpen. So on a more recent trip with a flight involved we just let him sleep in our king bed at the hotel. He had no problem going back to his toddler bed after.., but he does not sleep through the night normally though.That's what we did and it was fine for us.

The PnP hotels provide are usually bigger than the cribs they provide anyway. We moved overseas when my son was 24 months and he slept in his PnP for several weeks before all of our stuff arrived and he was totally fine with it.

We have travelled a bit. At my parents in Florida he slept in a toddler bed. I put pillows around it and he only fell out once. He didn't even wake up. I was in the bed next to him an just slipped him back in. Next was Arizona in a hotel. He slept in the middle of a queen. I put pillows under blankets to make a wall around the edge. Slept great. Then a twin with rails. Also worke well. He still sleeps in his crib at he because he loves it. I would recommend the bed. Get some cheap pool noodles and put them under the bottom sheet as rails. There are also inflatable travel beds for toddlers you can buy or inflatable rails for under the covers.

My pnp mattress is really thin, I doubt it would be comfy for days on end. We are taking my 16 m dd to Disneyland and I bought and egg crate mattress to cut to size to help the pnp. Good luck and enjoy your trip!
